We begin making the denture after the teeth are removed, normally seven or eight days post extraction. This option is only used when your natural teeth are in a position of compromise, too loose or over-erupted. - Conventional Denture
Made 6 months after your extractions. The delay is to allow time for your gums to stop shrinking, and results in a better fitting first denture. This option is very rare but some patients prefer this option.
